  • Hunan Ginger Pepper PorkThe central provinces of China produce fiery and tasty dishes. The special ground szechuan peppers provide a unique taste that is only partially mimicked by ordinary black pepper.
  • Easy Asian Orange Rib Recipes Many of my marinades start with a particular taste I crave, in this case, ginger and orange, and then are built around the current inhabitants of my refrigerator.
  • Asian lamb recipes
  • Wild Mushrooms and Asian Noodles The Pacific Northwest offers many varieties of wild edible mushrooms in both spring and fall. Often they can be found right on the edge of hiking trails. The key to cooking with these delicious fungi is to minimize the other flavors, and cook the mushrooms quickly. (Do not eat any wild mushrooms if you haven’t been able to verify they’re edible)
